Howard Bison (ATS) ..

Coming off of a second consecutive win, Howard is starting to heat up in a very good time. The Bison, who were very solid last season, still have a lot to do in the conference tournament if they want to make the Big Dance. Although Norfolk State is going to be a challenge, I believe that they can beat anyone. Having said that, this game against Coppin State shouldn't be difficult whatsoever for the Bison. They beat them by 15pts back in January.

Looking at Coppin State a bit more, it's actually done better than last season already this year. The Eagles won just one conference game last season while winning two games overall. Now, 4-21 overall is not much improvement. But, it's something for the program. Having said that, Coppin State doesn't stand much of a chance against one of the top teams in the MEAC. I don't expect the Eagles to score as many points as it did in the first encounter either.

All in all, expect Howard to play great defense en route to a blowout win. The Bison are playing great basketball right now and should be dominating this game throughout. Hammer Howard.

Score Prediction: 84-65 Howard.
